madmax94 · Oct 21, 2014

Hello, im thinking about buying a 2006/07 range rover sport,now just stuck between 3.6 tdv8 or a 4.2 v8 supercharged, I need your opinions, do they have common faults with any of them? will it constantly be in the garage for repair, anything i should look for when buying one? cheers

Where do I start
arc bars leak
d bushes wear out quick
front lower arm bushes
rear upper arm bushes
rear upper and lower hub rose joints
rrar brake pipes rust quickly
steering rack inner joints get play
alternator faults that then eats the battery if left
both actuator arms seize either needing new actuator arms approx 10hrs a pair or new turbos
spare wheel winch breaking
turbo pipes splitting
fuel guage faults requires new connectiins in tank if not new senders
wheel bearings electric park brake faults
water pipe in the valley on the supercharger splits

thats all I can think of at present

Please please please dont call a range rover a vogue.
Vogue is a trim level. It has several names listed below:
range rover
full fat range rover ( slang term)
L322
l405 (brand new one 12 plate onwards)
Lm (dealer codes)

Any land rover product is full of problems, be it design, manfucturing, or general wear and tear unless yuou have deep pockets or can diy a land rover product is not for you.

I see most problems at work most forums are people who have problems with their own, but there could be thousands of vehicles that have never had a problem.

Ask questions, look at several vehicles, and buy wisely.

I have a 2006 L322 Supercharged Vogue SE, it is a nice drive, however, I have had to put a new supercharged coolant pump, new MAF sensor, and service parts. has had some electrical problems.
